The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 530: Gambling Den

Linci looked at Tee-Nek and spoke with a smile, "Uncle Tee-Nek, can you please clean up here? You know how to do it, right?"

After saying that, Linci turned around to walk back.

Athan looked at her and grinned as he showed her thumb up, "That was a job well done."

Tiana and others chuckled and laughed as they agreed with Athan.

On the other hand, Tee-Nek was dumbfounded again, 'T-this...It's my first time seeing her smile. Heck, nobody saw her smile when I was working in the Crow clan. What happened to her? How is she able to sit with them up close within two meters without exuding her cold power?'

Snapping out his thoughts, Lee-Nek first decided to finish the work here as he dug a bit of ground below Brangen to move him since touching that Netherly frost would injure him.

The other two companions of Brengen were scared shitless by feeling that deadly power up close and seeing them, Lee-Nek snorted, "Wake up and take Brangen back to your clan. Tell your clan leader and Brangen's father to remove thoughts about revenge if they want to survive."

Naturally, he told them this through sound transmission and not loudly.

The other two companions of Brangen trembled as they took Brangen away by following the method told to them by Tee-Nek.

Tee-Nek then walked towards Athan and the group.

"Miss Linci...your powers, can you control them now?"

Linci shook her head, "I can't but...,"-She looked at Athan with a heartfelt smile-,"But I can contain my power to myself because of Athan."

Lee-Nek looked at Athan with a curious and surprised gaze, 'Who is this man? Very strange...'

He then turned his gaze back to Linci and said with a thoughtful expression, "Then Mrs.Lorain's cure...-"

Linci nodded with a smile, "I can't control my powers, but Athan has a way to do that and cure my mother. But since he is not born in the upper-Chaosverse, He can't travel there without breaking through to Evagon-realm."

Athan faintly smiled and said, "I have given my words that I will cure Linci's mother, and it is the first thing I will do once reaching upper-Chaosverse."

At this time, Athan was not purposefully giving out his aura, so Tee-Nek didn't know that Athan was just a person at the peak of Orderic Catastrophe.

'Not born in upper-Chaosverse but still can contain that berserk power of young miss Linci...how the hell is that possible?' Tee-Nek felt disbelief, but he didn't reveal and just nodded with a smile.

"Alright, then I shall not disturb you any further," Lee-Nek said with a polite smile and left.

Naturally, other people here were long dumbfounded because someone was just killed, and here, Mr. Lee-Nek didn't even do anything to them.

'It looks like some very big shot is among them. Probably with the connection to upper-Chaosverse.'

That is what all present people thought before they turned their gaze away from Athan's group and focused on the dancing and music.

...

After staying at Bay of Heavenly Dance for ten days, Athan and others went to Gambling Den.

The Gambling Den had another form of entertainment in this place, and that was...well, it was as the name of the place suggests.

Gambling!

This place had many forms of gambling games like a casino, but Athan and others went to the most famous game.

Stone Treasure Gambling.

There were three types of stone, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

Bronze stones cost one hundred high-grade chaos stones, Silver stones cost five hundred high-grade chaos stones, and Gold stones cost one thousand high-grade chaos stones.

Athan gave everyone ten thousand high-grade chaos stones and told them to use them however they wanted.

"T-this....Athan, this is too much. We might not even win," Shiromi said with hesitation.

Others also agreed with her as they nodded.

"Hahaha, It's fine! It doesn't matter if you win or lose," Athan said with a laugh and told them not to worry about it.

"Anyway, I can win back more wealth by spending here, so no need to worry, hehe," Athan grinned.

"Hahaha, Lady fu. Are you sure about those remarks of that young man? Wealth doesn't grow on trees."

A middle-aged man spoke as he glanced at Athan before saying to Lady Fu.

This middle-aged man was the head of the Borus Family that Athan and others met at the gate of Heaven's Tranquility.

"Mr. Ingeal Borus, it doesn't matter what Athan does because...that's the wealth he earned himself." Lady Fu indifferently spoke.

Ingeal was stunned before he revealed a disdainful expression, "You are saying an ant at Orderic Catastrophe earned hundreds of thousands of high-grade chaos stones? What a joke!"

At this time, the young man, Hings Borus, said with a mocking smile as he looked at Athan, "It doesn't matter how he earned this wealth. But you said something about winning back more wealth, right?"-Hings took out a storage pouch and put it on the near table-, "How about we bet a little? After all, you sounded like you possess a high amount of luck to be able to boast that you will win more wealth in this gambling den."

'Luck?...,' Athan internally shook his head, 'I don't need luck.'

He then grinned at Hings and said, "Sure, we can bet. I don't know how and what betting game this will be, but I'll put my stacks in advance. If I lose, I'll give hundred thousand high-grade chaos stones."

Hearing that, Ingeal, Hings, and, Feina (Ingeal's daughter) were stunned.

"Young man, are you planning to go back bare naked from here?" Ingeal spoke with a dumbfounded expression.

Lady Fu and Nacy were also shocked.

But Tiana, Avelia, Sen, Shiromi, and others didn't say anything despite being surprised by Athan's high stacks.

Athan faintly smiled and said, "Let's cut the bull and start the game. How are we going to play this?"

Hings laughed and said, "Since you are that eager to lose your money, then let's start. The game is simple: Each of us will pick three stones, and the one whose stones contain more valuable treasure wins. How about it, are you fine with it?"

Athan cracked his finger and grinned, "Bring it on."
